Thank you again for your response to this.. I did eventually get thru to EDD on the phone. The representative looked too and couldn't find a clear answer either. However, she was familiar with the CTB program because she had participated in it herself. However, that was before COVID, and she enrolled by walking into a local CA Workforce Development/Training (not sure exact title) office.. Many have been closed because of COVID, or are "By Appt. Only."
Anyway, she couldn't find any other directions for submitting a request or application. So I just entered it when I Certified for those weeks. Turns out, it did NOT ask if school would prevent me from accepting work. Here are the questions it asks: Start & End Date of classes; Name of learning institute; Address & Phone number of learning institute; Type of Program (Certificate, Degree, Employer-Sponsored Training, etc.); Degree pursuing (if applicable); Class format (online, or in person); Class meeting times (if applicable); if Online classes, are they scheduled for set times or can you log in anytime; Have you received a report date to return to work; If Yes, what is the date?
I reported all the info. However, my Claims (last six weeks) are in Pending status for what looks like an unrelated reason. Apparently there were two weeks in Pending before I started classes, so at that point I had not reported attending classes yet.
